Rumsfeld Out - Gates In
Well, I was a bit surprised to hear the news this morning right before President Bush spoke, that Donald Rumsfeld is stepping down. Not that it came as a total shocker, but it was surprising that it came so soon. What was funny about this morning, more than listening to our President have to field a bunch of questions that he fumbled with, was listening to a newscast on MSNBC while the news of the resignation came over the AP wire. Nora O’Donnel was talking to another O’Donnel at the White House when the WH O’Donnel’s phone rang. Distracted, she looked down at the phone and tried to figure out if she should answer. Nora O’Donnel in the studio reported that the AP was apparently reporting that D. Rumsfeld was stepping down as the Secretary of Defense. During the conversation between the two one could hear protesters outside the White House, but you could not really make out what they were saying. About 3 minutes after the news went mainstream about the resignation, you could start to make out what the protesters were saying…rather singing. “Nah, nah, nah nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, hey, good bye.”
Comedy.
